I am newer to smoking and it has become one of my favorite past times. I bought a Char Griller without the firebox but I read an article about smoking without a smoker and I tried it and I loved it. So with my new found hobby I went out and bought the side fire box and have been trying to learn how to use it since. I liked some of the mods and recipes (I have made about a dozen of them) and decided to join the forum.
